The Day I Quit Him (Autumn and Mars) novel Chapter 238

“Proof?”

Mrs. Parker was stunned.

“What kind of proof do you need? She’s having an improper relationship with my Nathan! My niece saw therm with her own two eyes. You think she’s lying?”

“Exactly!”

Madelyn Carter stepped forward to stand beside her aunt, the same arrogant look in both their eyes. “I personally saw her having dinner with my uncle. They were laughing and joking around, totally shameless!”

The police officer looked on with a hint of helplessness, clearly having never dealt with people like this

before.

“I’m sorry, ma’am, but regardless of whether they’re in a relationship or not, we need proof. Otherwise, what you’re doing is legally considered slander.”

Madelyn waved her hand, finding the concept unacceptable. “What I saw *is* the proof! What else do you need us to show you? Pictures of them in bed?”

“Besides, if they’re having an affair, you guys should be the ones investigating it!”

“What else are you even here for?”

Standing a short distance behind Madelyn, Hailey was digging her nails so hard into her palms that they were turning red.

*I’ve seen people who are clueless about the law, but I’ve never seen anyone this clueless.*

If word of what Madelyn just said got out, she’d be a laughingstock.

She pinned her hopes on Mrs. Parker.

*Surely a woman her age would understand how these things work.*

If this scene continued, no one was going to have a good day. It would be better to let the police mediate and de–escalate things for now.

But Hailey had obviously forgotten one crucial fact: with a niece like Madelyn Carter, how smart could her aunt possibly be?

And so, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Mrs. Parker said to the police, “That’s right! Isn’t it your job to

investigate them for sleeping around? Check their bank statements! See if they’ve been to any hotels together! And pull the security footage to see what those two sleazebags have been up to!”

Hailey rolled her eyes, nearly fainting on the spot.

“Are these two for real?*

*Who acts this brazenly in front of the police?*

“Seriously, what is wrong with you two?”

Nina became Hailey’s mouthpiece, asking the very question on her mind.

“Who do you think you are, little girl? Do you have any right to speak here?” Mrs. Parker looked down on Nina, her eyes filled with contempt. “You hang out with a homewrecker like Autumn Lopez, so I bet you’re just as dirty. So young and already looking for shady shortcuts. You’ll all get what’s coming to you sooner or later!”

“Don’t you dare make up lies like that!”

Nina had never been humiliated like this before. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to have it out with the aunt

and niece.

“Alright! Everyone, quiet down!”

The police officer could see it clearly now. Mrs. Parker and her niece were just being completely

unreasonable.

In a way, that made the case simpler.

“We’re going to need all of you to come with us to the station.”

They couldn’t keep blocking the entrance. The commotion had already attracted the attention of quite a few passersby.

To prevent a public disturbance, the officers escorted the group into their patrol cars.

Nathan Parker was both shocked and terrified. “Officer, this is all a misunderstanding…”

As a businessman, he was deeply wary of places like the police station.

If people saw him and started spreading rumors, it would be a huge blow to his reputation.

It would also leave a terrible impression on his business partners.

At this thought, Nathan shot a cold glare at Mrs. Parker. There wasn’t a trace of warmth between husband and wife in his eyes, only disgust and disapproval. “Look at what you’ve done. I told you not to come here and make a scene, and now look where we are.”

“After a trip to the station, let’s see if you have any face left to show anyone!”

2/4

Mrs. Parker had already started to panic at the mention of going to the station.

But Nathan’s jab immediately set her off again. Why should I be ashamed? You don’t seem to feel any

shame!

“Take a good look at yourself, Nathan Parker! You’re an old man trying to have an affair like some college kid Do you even have it in you?”

“All these years I’ve managed this house for you, I’ve sung your praises to my parents… what did I ever do to deserve you cheating on me?”

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re really after. Years ago, when I could still have children, you pretended to be so concerned about me, insisting we shouldn’t have any. Now you’ve changed your mind, haven’t you?”

“Yeah, right!”

“I’m telling you, even if someone did get pregnant by a piece of trash like you, she’d miscarry! A monster like you doesn’t deserve to have any more kids!”

The more Mrs. Parker yelled, the more agitated she became, her words growing uglier. Nathan’s face turned beet red, and he lunged forward to hit her, completely ignoring the fact that the police were right there.

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?”

Protected by the police, Mrs. Parker felt fearless. She even craned her neck to provoke him further. “What, you’re going to hit me now? You think I’m scared of you, you old bastard?”

“Without me, you’re nothing! Let’s get a divorce–I dare you! You’re the one who cheated, so don’t even think about taking a single thing. I’d love to see if your little mistress still wants to have your baby when you’re old, broke, and jobless!”

Nathan’s mouth twitched violently. He had thought his wife would just make a scene and get over it.

He never expected her to have no filter, to say such horrible things. Now, the Parker family’s dirty laundry was completely aired out for everyone to see.
